Broyles' other adapted screenplays include Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes and the television miniseries J.F.K.: Reckless Youth. His original screenplays include Cast Away, his first collaboration with Zemeckis and Hanks, Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the feature-length pilot for the television series he created, China Beach.
